Poll: Should we add Xen servers?

Yes	82% (33)
No	17% (7)

Well, our provider will soon be introducing windows VPS servers (Yes, it's no secret who our provider is). So once they release them, our website will be updated so that you can get windows VPS as well as Linux.

Also, our provider has recently introduced Xen VPS, they are a tad more expensive than the ones we currently use (OpenVZ), but some people may prefer them. You can easily find out what the difference between OpenVZ and Xen is by googling "Difference between OpenVZ and Xen VPS". It's not a massive difference, but there is a difference. So please answer the poll above, thank you.

Lastly, a new design for the website is coming soon, so be on the lookout for that.

He asked a legitimate question, although the Liam "Hoe" thing was really not needed and stupid/rude.

GreatFisher	Exactly making the comment stupid, If you asking someone a question and want an answer then you don't try and be funny with their name or act in other way childish. Alternatively he could follow the instructions in the post that would him to his answer...

I personally believe it should be answered no matter how its asked, but of course that's my opinion

GreatFisher	And yet Liam provided a means of getting the answer to that question in the post.

Themain reason that I have found is that Xen is more like a dedicated server, whereas OpenVZ edges towards OS behaviour. That's what I've learned through google.

As for the joke, I don't really care about it, you can all call me whatever you like I'm not really interested in what I'm called. Call me plum face or something for all I care lol. You'd get the same reply to what I would give if you call me Liam.

Atol Soldier	If you add xen server, maybe you will lose some clients.. but, the good part of it is that Teka CoHost will have higher host quality. I prefer a better quality host, then a cheap and lower quality one.

Liam Howe	Atol, we would still keep the OpenVZ servers, Xen servers would be getting added, not replacing lol.

Masterdarwin88	NO! ADD PLUTO SERVERS!

Neo Rapes Everything	I don't really see a big deal with it, they're both -almost- the samething, but some performance improvements (Xen). Also, are you working on the forums already? If not, I could of help with that, if needed.
